In the US of A, we are celebrating our independence in the only way we know how - by consuming massive quantities of processed meat in tube packages that are then grilled, and then detonating colorful explosives.

You may recall us featuring an upcoming action-RPG style game a few months back called Second Chance Heroes. The game was looking for a PC audience and release through Steam's Greenlight program, which it still is.

Could they put aside their nationalistic differences for the common good and rise up again as heroes? That's the question Second Chance Heroes, an indie co-op PC game from Rocket City Studios, is hoping to answer.
